Gnus 5.10 automatically caches the headers.  This means that entering
a group is as fast as entering an nnml group, at least the second

PS: There is no nnmail backend, but there are nnml and nnfolder,
    amongst others.  nnmail could be construed an abstract base class
    of some backends, if you will.
